enAmazing Human Beingshttps://www.spyjournal.biz/amazing-human-beings
<p>The power of the human spirit never ceases to amaze me. But this last weekend I was treated to some pretty unusual displays of just how incredible humans can actually be.</p>
<p>I attended, photographed and even competed in an ultra running event, the 24 and 48 hour ultra event at <a href="http://geoffsruns.com/">http://geoffsruns.com/</a>. I saw people run 280+km (175 miles). I saw records broken, i saw pain and suffering and individual determination and grit, and most importantly I saw the incredible power of encouragement. I saw friends and relatives camp over night in cold uncomfortable conditions in order to be able to get out on the track and walk a couple of laps with competitors and mentally assist them to over come the physical demands they were placing on their systems. i witnessed first hand the incredible power of transformation of a persons face from resigned grit and determination (or even pain) to sheer joy through a simple spoken word – a “you can do it”. I saw the camaraderie of those who shared the same trials, and for a brief 1.5 hours i was amongst it. As I churned out laps (more of a slow grind then a churn) I was guaranteed of numerous encouraging remarks from complete strangers on the sidelines, a “well done Tim” and “you are looking great” from other competitors who went flying past me, and the cheers from the crowd around the timing tent.</p>
<p>And at the end they were no longer strangers. Many of these runners I have seen and photographed (and run with) before, but as <a href="http://blindrapture.blogspot.com.au/">Tamyka</a> put it – “you got to be friends with someone you shared the same physical space with for 48 hours!”</p>
<p>The ultra running community is a small tight knit friendly group of positive goal orientated cheerful people. I’m proud to be associated with such amazing human beings.</p>

<li><a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/349/5788&amp;cl=au,en&amp;pcid=5787">Logitech Vid</a> – this one is pretty stupid actually. I am recording it here to simply predict that this is a application destined to failure. This is strange for me because i am pretty much a Logitech fanboi. However in this case they are doing something really really stupid. The basic premise of Logitech Vid is a simple video communication app – and its free if you have a Logitech webcam – but if not you get a 30 day trial and then have to pay for it. And that is why it is destined to fail. I have a Logitech webcam on my desk at my main machine. However my laptop has a built in cam – why would I pay for it so i can run it on my laptop as opposed to my desktop. My parents have a Logitech webcam (I gave it to them) but my sisters are all on laptops with built in webcams – why should they have to pay for it. At the end of the day Skype has the video communication market cornered – it works, its free and – well it just works.</li>

<p>I am working late tonight - getting some stuff cleared before a busy day tomorrow so that I can focus on a client deadline.</p>
<p>So as a way of reducing the number of webpages I have open in Firefox (currently 52) here's a whole bunch that I am tagging to delicious and closing for later review.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/sbsc_australia/archive/2008/05/29/sbs-2008-public-beta-now-available-come-get-it.aspx" target="_blank"><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/sbsc_australia/WindowsLiveWriter/SBS2008publicbetanowavailablecomegetit_A37A/Win-SmBizSrvr08_rgb_2.png"><img height="43" alt="Win-SmBizSrvr08_rgb" src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/sbsc_australia/WindowsLiveWriter/SBS2008publicbetanowavailablecomegetit_A37A/Win-SmBizSrvr08_rgb_thumb.png" width="240" align="right" border="0" /></a>SBS server 2008 RC0</a> released to public for beta trial. We will be dlwonloading and installing this in a Virtual Machine to trial. We will be upgrading from SBS 2003 later in the year when SBS 2008 is released. The <a href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2008/05/28/sbs-2008-rc0-is-now-public.aspx" target="_blank">screen shots</a> I have seen so far look awesome.</p>
<p>Now how is this for interesting. While reading articles in <a href="http://www.google.com/reader " target="_blank">Google Reader</a> I came across this article by Josh from Bokardo titled <a href="http://bokardo.com/archives/designing-for-the-social-web-signs-of-life/" target="_blank">Designing for the social web: signs of life</a>. It had an interesting set of photos that highlighted happy customers / users of a website - I didnt bother checking what the site was. I just thought that was a rpetty cool idea and planned to incorporate it in my business websites, <a href="http://www.jethroconsultants.com">www.jethroconsultants.com</a> and <a href="http://www.jethromanagement.biz">www.jethromanagement.biz</a>. I left the page open in Firefox so I could tag it later. I am then reading <a href="http://scobleizer.com/2008/05/27/scoble-has-a-productivity-problem/" target="_blank">Scobleizer's article about why he social networks</a> (makes a lot of sense by the way) and I saw a link to a <a href="http://friendfeed.com/e/f839e800-0c85-d04c-955f-252635ab68d4" target="_blank">Freshbook Cluster on FeedFriend</a>. Hopping over there I decide to open <a href="http://www.freshbooks.com/" target="_blank">Freshbooks</a> to see what the fuss is all about and imagine my surprise (which you can experience also) to see the same pictures of happy users. Yes Josh had lifted the pictures from the <a href="http://www.freshbooks.com/" target="_blank">Freshbooks</a> site (with credit though I hadn't followed his link). I will check out <a href="http://www.freshbooks.com/" target="_blank">Freshbooks</a> later. Has anybody used it already? I would be interested in your feed back in the comments.</p>
<p>Finally thanks to <a href="http://alison-young.com/" target="_blank">Alison</a>(who relaunched her blog on her own domain name 10 days ago) I came across <a href="http://www.getmiro.com/" target="_blank">Miro</a> in <a href="http://alison-young.com/2008/miro" target="_blank">her post about Miro</a>. <a href="http://www.getmiro.com/" target="_blank">Miro</a> is an opensource video player that will pay most if not all internet content. Video files, HD, You Tube, Bit Torrents and more. I will be checking this out later. For now tagged in delicious.</p>
<p>And that's all folks - I am off to bed.</p>

<p>Vista Service Pack 1 - Search is lost.
</p><p>Due to a change in SP1, contextual search has been removed - from <a href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2008/02/17/have-sp1-want-your-search-back.aspx">the SBS Diva Blog</a>. There's also a registry hack here.<br />
<blockquote>
<p>(Translation because certain search companies complained, the EU threatened to start another antitrust suit)<em> </em>
</p><p><em>"Microsoft has recently published a </em><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=941946"><em>KB article</em></a><em> outlining changes to Windows Vista's desktop search in SP1 but I'd like to elaborate a little bit based on my own experience with the changes. Windows Vista SP1 allows the user to change their default desktop search provider from the built-in Windows Desktop Search that ships with Windows Vista to another 3rd party desktop search provider. As noted above, the Search option has been removed from the right side of the Start menu. Users will also notice "See all results" has disappeared when doing a search via the Start menu. Instead, you will see "Search Everywhere". Search Everywhere will launch whatever is the user's default desktop search program.&nbsp; In Windows Explorer, users will also see a "Search Everywhere" option in the toolbar as well.

</p><p>After I installed Firefox 3 beta - and then uninstalled it IE and Firefox had an argument on my computer as to who was the default browser. In fact it got kind of messy for a while.

<blockquote><p>Original, never-to-be-found-elsewhere posts is the best way and only way to have your readers coming back for more. By creating constant thorough posts audiences come back for more; while expecting only the best. This will result in not only returning visitors, but also RSS subscribers and trustworthiness that can result in more <strong>sales and click-throughs</strong>. If you saw the same post on ten other blogs, would you come back?</p>
